Overall Impression

Mixed feelings arise after reading the reviews about the Grand Hotel Varna. "Grand Hotel Varna" 5 * is a very popular hotel located in a popular tourist area. Given that its territory is combined with four other similar institutions, the infrastructure is common, and therefore in the territory it is always very crowded.

Positive testimonials can be heard mainly from non-demanding tourists or from those for whom this holiday in Bulgaria was the first trip abroad. Of course, in comparison with domestic resorts, Grand Hotel Varna appears in a very favorable light. Here operates the system "All inclusive", there are good opportunities for recovery. The location is very convenient. Speaking about nutrition, it is worth noting that it resembles a home. You will not find any culinary delights here, but all the dishes are well-known.

Those travelers who have already had a rest at the resorts of Turkey and Egypt, may remain somewhat disappointed. This is connected with the fact that they somewhat differently imagine a five-star service. Bad cleaning, lack of animation, pandemonium by the pools and many other unpleasant moments greatly spoil the impression. Considering that the territory of the hotel is combined with four others, experienced tourists recommend buying cheaper tours to hotels of lower stars. In this case, you will be available the same service as in the Grand Hotel Varna.
